Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 105

Cecilia

Alpha Sebastian and I stood frozen, watching the fortune-telling charade unfold to its conclusion. I had to admire Harper’s dedication to the performance-she was really milking this for all it was worth.

“Such compassion! The Madam Amber is truly merciful with her boundtess love! How benevolent!” Harper exclaimed with dramatic flair as Mrs. White gratefully accepted the red ruby necklace.

Mrs. White showered them with effusive thanks as she carefully placed the beads around

•her wrist.

Madam Amber offered one final piece of wisdom, “Remember, Mrs. White, faith is the key.

True belief brings results.”

“Yes, yes, I understand completely,” Mrs. White nodded repeatedly, clutching the red ruby necklace close.

After paying an exorbitant offering fee, she finally departed, her expensive clothes now soiled with ash, looking utterly ridiculous but seemingly unaware of it in her desperate state.

They’d arranged for her to return in a week for further assistance. watched Mrs. White’s retreating figure and couldn’t help muttering under my breath, “l wonder if it’s too late for a career change?”

Alpha Sebastian gave me a sideways glance that I couldn’t quite interpret.

Meanwhile, in the next room, Harper removed her veil.

“So, Madam Amber, how did you like my approach? Better than your usual tactics, right?

You’re making a killing today,” she said with evident satisfaction.

Madam Amber opened her eyes-apparently, she’d been faking blindness this entire time.

“You certainly have skills,” the old woman admitted. “You’ve got real talent, Miss Harper.

Ever consider working with me? We could split everything fifty-fifty.”

Harper smiled confidently. “I have talent for many things, but I prefer fighting for justice and helping the vulnerable.”

“Fair enough. I love money, and you love justice. We each get what we want. Do whatever you need-l’m only here for the profit.”

“A pleasure doing business with you.”

While the two master con artists continued their business discussion, Alpha Sebastian gently pulled me away from our observation spot.

We quietly made our way back to the waiting area.

We had barely taken our seats when the assistant approached us. “Your turn now. Please follow me.”

I exchanged glances with everyone: Are we really doing this?

Alpha Sebastian responded with a composed smile. “Lead the way.”

If Alpha Sebastian was going along with it, none of us dared object. Might as well see this performance through to the end.

So the four of us-Alpha Sebastian, myself, Yvonne, and Tang-followed the robed assistant, expecting to be led to the same room we’d been spying on.

Instead, we were taken to a different location.

Made sense-the previous room had been thoroughly trashed during their theatrical exorcism.

This new space was smaller than the previous one, with a more elegant and minimalist aesthetic.

Madam Amber sat before an incense altar, looking serene and mystical.

Harper wasn’t present-presumably still changing out of her assistant costume.

The four of us settled into our seats.

“What would you like to ask about today?” Madam Amber inquired with a benevolent yet enigmatic.smile.

1 was about to ask something innocuous when a smooth, rich voice beside me spoke first.

“Love fortunes.”

The words shocked the three of us.

We all stared at Alpha Sebastian as though he’d spontaneously grown a second head. Was this really happening?

[Love fortunes? How had he managed to say those words so effortlessly, without a hint of embarrassment?]

I’d been planning to ask about something harmless, like the weather forecast.

“Love fortunes, I see,” Madam Amber responded calmly, pulling out a piece of paper.
